1325. Verse 9 Therefore He called the name of it Babel, because there Jehovah confounded the lip of the whole earth; and from there Jehovah scattered them over the face 1 of the whole earth.

'Therefore He called the name of it Babel' means such worship. 'Because Jehovah confounded the lip of the whole earth' means the state of this Ancient Church - that internal worship started to perish, 'the earth' being the Church. 'And from there Jehovah scattered them over the face' of the whole earth' means that internal worship ceased to exist.

1. literally, the faces
